High Level Tax Justice Symposium in Helsinki

Overview

The Tax Justice Network will be holding a Seminar on Transfer Pricing in Helsinki, on
June 13-15th, 2012. The Seminar is being co-hosted by TJN, the Government of Finland
and KEPA, the umbrella civil society organization in Finland.
The seminar’s purpose is to analyse the OECD’s dominant Transfer Pricing Guidelines
for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations, and to suggest modifications and
alternatives to those Guidelines. The Seminar will focus especially on the needs of
developing countries.
It will be attended by academics, researchers, government officials and representatives
of civil society organizations, and it has been organised by David Spencer, Senior
Adviser to TJN and director of TJN’s Transfer Pricing Project. I will be present and will be
presenting a new paper on country-by-country reporting.
In connection with the Seminar David has written an article, “Transfer Pricing: Will the
OECD Adjust to Reality?” It is a long, detailed and important article which refers to a
broad range of research and analysis, and it will be posted as a permanent item on the
Tax Justice Network’s Transfer Pricing webpage.
